Hi Kassim, If you could try to compile your program with the following command: javac -classpath .:/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/jre/lib/castor-0.9.6.jar MyProgram.java
this should compile your program (considered it is called MyProgram.java) Then when you want to run it you'll need a couple more jar files in your classpath. (classpath is the path where java finds it's classfiles, like the path in unix is) I think the minimum extra classes you'll need in your classpath are: commons-logging.jar xerces.jar So start your program with: java -cp .:/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/jre/lib/castor-0.9.6.jar:xerces.jar:commons-logging.jar MyProgram (do not forget the dot at the beginning of the classpath)..
